A new study shows that fat people in the United States suffer direct economic and social effects because of their size. The findings are from an 8-year study of about 100,0000 people. The people studied were between the ages of 16 and 24 when the research began.
The researchers who carried out the study say they consider the people fat if they are in the top of 5% of the measurement in which weight is connected with height. For example, fat women in the study were about 160 centimetres tall and weighed about 90 kilograms. Fat men in the study were about 175 centimetres tall and weighted 100 kilograms. The researchers say that more than 1,000,000 Americans are that big. The researchers found that fat young women were more likely to lose social and economic power even if they were from wealthy families. The fat women were also 20% less likely to get married and they earned an average of about $6,700 a year less than other women. The study showed less severe effect on fat men. They earned an average of about $3,000 a year less than other men. Fat men were also 11% less likely to get married.

61. Which is the following statements is surely right?

Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks’ time. Ten inches of rain may be enough foe many plants to survive(存活) if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it rains within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes(沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliff (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing---very, very slowly---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see few sighs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
64．Many plants may survive in deserts when ________.
A. the rain is spread out in a year B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year D. it is dry all the year round
65．Sand dunes are formed when_______.
A. sand piles up gradually B. there is plenty of rain in a week
C. the sea has dried up over the years D. pieces of rock get smaller
66．The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is _______.
A. too much sand B. more sand than before
C. nothing except sand D. something else besides sand
67．It can be learned from the text that in a desert________.
A. there is no rainfall throughout the year B. life exists in rough conditions
C. all sand dunes are a few feet high D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat
D
Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand(品牌) of product on shelf.
Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged(包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain kill was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package---blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote(推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius(天才) to sell it.”
68．Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A. The cost of its package B. The price of the product
C. The color of its package D. The brand name of the product
69．The underlined part “the colors turned the customers off” (in para.3) means that the colors_______.
A. attracted the customers strongly
B. had weak effects on the customers
C. tricked the customers into shopping
D. cause the customers to lose interest
70．Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote goods B. The discovery of a genius.
C. The tem to produce a good product D. the brand name used by successful producers.
71．Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping tricks
